Kendall Jennerdidn’t choose a life of fame — she was born into it.
TheKardashianfamily supermodel explained how she’s made peace with life in the spotlight alongside her famous family. “Since I was really young, I felt out of place in my family,” Kendall, 27, said for herWSJ. Magazine’s Summer Digital issuecover story. “I was born into this life, but I didn’t choose this life.”
Kendall was only 11 years old whenKeeping Up with the Kardashianspremiered on E! and launched her family to household-name status. Though the plot mainly followed her older sisters’ career plans — from traveling the world to starting their former clothing business Dash — Kendall and younger sisterKylie Jennerbecame known for their pre-teen shenanigans on screen.
Speaking of her adolescent years — in which she was no stranger to telling the paparazzi off as they followed her routines, she added, “It took me [almost] 20 years to be like,OK, I guess I’m getting used to it now and it’s fine and I get it.”
Kendall identifies with the Kardashian side of the family — but also strongly with as daughter ofCaitlyn Jenner, whose athleticism was the reason for her fame. “I obviously understandI fall under the umbrella of the Kardashian sisters,” she said. “It’s just weird to me … because I am just like my dad in so many ways. I’m such a Jenner, in my opinion.”
As each sister branches into their own areas of the entertainment industry, Kendall is known for her print and runway modeling, as well as starting tequila brand 818.
Kendall’s cover story hitsWSJ. comand Apple News+ on June 30, and new episodes ofThe Kardashiansdrop Thursdays on Hulu.
